Bangalore-Treating kitchen waste water for reuse

Waste water emerging from the kitchen sink has high organic material from the food dishes as well as oil and grease from typical Indian cooking. This water can be treated with a simple oil and grease trap and a planted filter for reuse as garden water. Approximately 30 litres of water per person per day is use up in doing the dishes in a typical Indian home.
The first thing to do is to trap the oil and grease which can be taken out occasionally and put into a compost heap. The food material is also allowed to settle down and separated from the rest of the water. This remaining water is oxygenated using a small aquarium bubbler. This cost Rs 250/- and is obviously a Chinese make. It also consumes less than a half unit of energy every day. About 100 litres to 120 litres of water can be treated and used to water the pots and the garden. If any water is in excess it can be used to recharge the ground through a small recharge well.

Great!!! I'm on research to make a waste water treatment for my restaurant.

Your water treatment is the same with the flowchart I made.

It will be 30 meters long process and at the end I will make a pond and put some fish and turtle before the water goes to the lake

GREAT JOB!!

No, YOU suck and are an inbred idiot. He is doing something that is productive and positive to mankind. What is your skill or contribution? Let me guess -- making bombs or making carpets. Ssshh -- I will let you in a secret. No one in the free civilized world respects or thinks highly of YOU. Turn on the news in any country and all you see is the death and distruction caused by idiots like YOU.

nice, very useful. But two issues:

1) it requires space

2) how do you remove soap if i also want to use the bathroom water.

@zenrainman

I'll use active carbon and bio balls (as the soil and plants at yours) Hope it'll work to reduce the chemical from soap and others

I have been watching a lot of your videos and I think the systems are great. However I am curious would they work in a temperate climate like Alberta Canada? Them temperature here ranges from 40c above zero to 40c below zero. Can I use the same systems when they will be frozen for half the year?
